[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idk about anything else but whoever keeps posting about how people live grouped solely into ethnic/racial groups in LA hasn't been to LA since 1980 or something like that. It's some sort of weird segregationist fantasy that's actually really disturbing because that PP seems to be fetishizing it. I don't even like LA much, but that PP is so crazily wrong that it makes me think the PP wishes what he keeps posting were true. It's really weird and disturbing.[/quote]

Well actually I lived in LA up until a couple months ago, lol.  So you're wrong again.  The racial issues are still alive and well, and no one is praising it.  I think you're confusing yourself because you're mad that people are calling out the racial issues in LA, which are ongoing and well documented, like in the article a PP posted about segregation in LA schools.  Pay a visit, you'll see. [/quote]

What? You are putting words in my mouth. I never said there weren't significant racial issues in LA. There are and they are serious. But you are lying about living there, or you are wishing for some weird segregationist fantasy in your head. The totally isolated world you paint just isn't true, and you are weakening your point substantially by painting a wildly inaccurate picture of modern LA.  There is no need to make up a segregationist fantasy when talking about race issues in LA. I honestly find it really disturbing how you are doing that. This claim that racial groups in LA only live in one neighborhood in LA is not remotely supported by actual population data.

Stop the segregationist fantasies. It's awful. [/quote]
